I hope this doesnt finally affect your (our) lives... cos if a war starts, it could affect us all. (NO WAR PLASE)
someone working in the 90th flor in the north tower could think: "tha middle east stupid problem doesnt affect my life"

i don't think it was a good idea i mean, c'mon IT IS important but people have been talking of that war EVERYWHERE !
there tons of threads on war in irak, etc... so why make a poll out of a question you already know more than half the answer...

of course, real life is not as simple as a poll, there are much more options, but here you have like the minimum, yes, no, I dont know... so if you dont feel like saying yes or no, you just have to say "I dont know"
I mean, it would be hard to put all the options in a poll... so tune just decided to put like the more direct responses...

ive been having this conversation with family, and read about it also in letters to newspapers
i feel its inappropriate in ways for the protesters to go about things the way they have.
for a start, weve already deployed the troops. the biggest protests have happened after this. now the message sent is not directed at the troops themselves, more toward the governments.
however at this stage it has the effect of saying that the individual soldier is doing the wrong thing. which theyre not, theyre doing their jobs, serving their country.
some vietnam veterans have expressed concerns that our men & women will be treated with less than respect when they return, which would be another tragedy.

Thats true ! But "no blood for oil" is such a stupid term. I think if the USA wanted to have to oil then they would have given Saddam more money to secure their trading relationship. IMO USA wants to assimilate the whole eastern area to set up new markets for their products. This whole "Terrorism / Weapon inspection thing" is mostly a farce.

hmm, that post you're replying to wasnt directed on this particular poll
when i listen and read the comments of people that are protesting against this war-most of them come up with that-no blood for oil?
i don't think its just that issue what this is all about here
i think many of those protestors are there just to oppose something, not really doing because of their belive
i could be wrong, but that is the general impression i've got about it

my friend I think you are wrong... well not wrong, but you think diferent than me...
I believe that most of the protesters meant exactly what they said... NO WAR... and if this war is not only for oil it is for any other thing related to money and power, so its the same for me.

you really thing all this is happening because of the money and power?
i think that saddam presents a certain danger, and should be put away
but im in no way supporting the war it should never happen...

instead of saddam and oil
